Upmteenth (re:) inspection revisited...

rew4er2nail

I experience dread-nought
until April 19th, 2022 becomes yesterday

when troubles with management

here at Highland Manor

hoop fully temporarily alleviated.


Yours truly and the missus
personal living space
otherwise known as Unit B44

encroached, obtruded, and violated

predicated upon fruit fly infestation

justifying purported request for entry

into our one bedroom apartment.

 

Anticipatory anxiety put on high alert

when the warden gave less than a week

courtesy spluttering tone of voice
she did angrily blurt

nsync with her usual persona

being wickedly curt

treating us (myself and missus) like dirt

gloating in our writhing adversity

 

poor, sharecroppers,

no matter yours truly indigent

no matter exhaustive effort I do exert

to secure living income/wage, thus flirt

with visions of illusions grandeur

analogous to taut pulled belt girt

tightly around psyche whereby temple hurt

with unbearable agony

rendering these lovely bones inert.

 

Grosse and Quade Management

at 2 Highland Manor Apartments

with Jackie Geiger at the helm

finds yours truly afflicted with weak

praise, cuz she left us

(meself and the missus)

in figurative darkness,

whereby I electronically

 

soulfully bellow and shriek

seize the day

silently critiquing as if writing op/ed

for Time magazine and/or defunct Newsweek

perhaps under heading summarizing healthweek,

which hypothetical issue possibly considered

virtual collector's item

and subsequently unreal antique.

 

Stress unrelenting linkedin
to pesky of Drosophila melanogaster.

 

Fruit flies undergo

three stages of development

before emerging as adults:

egg, larva and pupa.

 

At room temperature,

fruit flies can develop

into adults within one to two weeks.

 

The egg and larval stages

span approximately eight days,

while the pupal stage lasts six days.

 

The adult fruit fly lives for several weeks.


Said pesky situation

warranted extermination services

to the tune between $100 and $175

for professional services

cuz countless instances arose regarding

swarm of itty bitty teeny weeny insect

thus aforementioned tab relegated

gifted as responsibility to yours truly

as threatened courtesy no nonsense

aforementioned heiress to the throne

of owners Grosse and Quade.

 

Methinks eviction in the offing,
though I will assertively
contact Fair Housing
if figurative push comes to shove
and broadcasts plea
for alternate place to reside

(ideally within Southeastern Pennsylvania)

including affordable low income rent.
